Otherwise, this would be called Yves Vol 2, since I wanted to show some progress on Yves. I have finally finished adding hair cards wooohoooooo. So here she comes now: Here are some viewport grabs: If you ask how long the hair took to make, I’d probably answer “FOREVER!!!” and I wouldn’t be lying by Read more...

That’s right – the new tools, like GoZ and 3D Coat’s auto retopology are a real time savers, so I was able to create this little portrait from scratch over the weekend. I can write more about the process if anyone’s interested, just drop me a line. I am quite excited about this, because traditionally Read more...
